Surely if we said we did not want to sell then we didn't have an asking price

presumably he means they offered what Redmond's agent thought would do the trick.

I can;t imagine it was:

Stoke: What would you sell Redmond for?

Mcnally: ?5 million.

Stoke: Ok here's an offer of ?5m for Redmond.

Mcnally: sorry he's not for sale.
